I was super excited to have a new frying pan to cook with, especially kitchen aid brand. The color is absolutely gorgeous and it’s a great size pan, so those are two pluses. I do wish the pan came with a lid because how often do you need to steam an item you’re cooking?? Often! It’s ok though. I knocked one star off because I cannot stand hand washing items. Definitely a first world problem but it’s 2023 why can’t we put everything in the dish washer without ruining it?! Looking forward to continuing use of this pan, not looking forward to washing it :)
